Huntington Beer Dance 77

Wrecked green shorebreak
throwdown rips & dreams
              catching the grilled glass ripple
                                                off the tide
                              the shadow of a rainstorm
                                                                twisting on the sand
I feel relentless, I said

meaning like a steam-driven guitar on the
darkside of the beach

coral blossom
seaweed
drifing sand
foam
broken glass
rust
sludge                   the offshore winds of time
gull wing               & your acoustic alarm clock

Never underestimate the luminous dial, she said
as the credits scrolled down into the flickering green
neon

rain
